Welcome back! It's Thanksgiving week, which means I'll be posting my annual "Gratitude post" this coming weekend - stay tuned - but this week, I wanted to share something a little different with you. In honor of the season, I thought it would be timely to share this interesting interview on happiness.
We often look at happiness as something to be achieved - something that we'll have when this or that happens, or when we have everything figured out. But the fact is, we'll NEVER really have everything figured out, and the things that we think will make us happy usually only provide a temporary sense of satisfaction or enjoyment.
If we're always waiting for something external to make us happy, we'll probably never find what we're looking for. True happiness can only come from within - and interestingly enough, sometimes life's struggles are actually what bring us lasting fulfillment. At least, that is the premise of this podcast episode.
Check it out below to learn how you can be happier NOW, without everything going perfectly in life, and without waiting for conditions to be "right" for happiness.

Do you ever feel like happiness is just out of reach, no matter how hard you try? In this week’s episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy, Dr. Mark Hyman sits down with Mark Manson, the best-selling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, to explore why chasing happiness often leads to frustration—and how embracing life’s struggles might be the key to true fulfillment.
Mark Manson is known for his refreshingly honest, no-fluff approach to self-help, and in this candid conversation, he flips the script on what it means to live a meaningful life. Drawing from his own journey through sudden fame, burnout, and the search for balance, Mark explains how accepting discomfort and being brutally honest with ourselves can unlock a deeper sense of purpose.
